Had this fellow for 14 years...today he crossed the bridge! I sure will miss him.
I'm truly sorry for your loss, it's just a heart ripper to loose a true buddy as you have. Lost my one good friend 10 yrs ago now we have another that's only 3, just the thought of loosing him brings even more tears to the eyes.
Feels worse the losing family when it happens, at least for me it does. They take up a big part of our hearts. So sorry.
